Salutations

Greetings and salutations to all. I'm back. Well, sort of. As soon as I got on here, I got some other work to do. Now I'm done. So now let's see. Last week can be described with one word: sick. Yes, that's right. I had a bad cold. Of course, it had to be when I was auditioning for American Idol. LOL. That's okay. A combination of that and picking the absolute wrong song resulted in me not making the cut past the first round. Wow. I'm really having issues here. I need to start reading more again. I just blanked on which form of passed (or past) to use! I spent that night at my grandma's house. It was relaxing, but I kinda wanted to be at home even though nobody else was. I wanted to be around my computer.

Wednesday I went back. That's when the runny nose part of the cold began. My supervisor kept asking if I was sure I should be there. I said I felt well enough and went about my business. I went out to lunch with everyone on Thursday. We had a staff appreciation lunch. It was really good. We actually had a three day weekend.

On Friday I was still sick enough to cause a problem. The good thing was I had my voice back. I left the house only once to get lunch with Kristin. Saturday was the fourth. I didn't leave the house. Everyone was watching fireworks on the lawn. I talked to Darius a lot and talked to Tasha for a while. I talked to Celine too for a little while. That was great. I talked to Tina, my buddy from the seminar too. Actually I just talked on the phone and watched a lot of the Jackson 5 movie.

Sunday I went to Sunday Worship. It was nice. I seem to be singing solos a lot when I go. Yesterday was one where I went with Kristin and My-key and Kristin and I both were asked to sing. It was really random. I miss the choir. It's been a long time since we've all sung something. It's been even longer since we've rehearsed.

Now for my plans for the week. Today I'm going to come home and have a voice lesson and a telephone conference. I'm working on when I can take off and do my pasport. It's kinda irritating. They only have appointments between 10 and 3. I wonder if there's a way to see if the one I had is valid. I think I'll call my mom. It would be great not to have to hassle with all of this crap. The rest of my plans don't happen until either Saturday or Sunday. I'm hoping to hang out with Celine on Friday and Saturday. Sunday I'm going to Denver either on the train or Greyhound to reaudition for American Idol. I'm working with Kristin today on finding good audition pieces. I'll either go Sunday morning or Saturday afternoon depending on what Celine says. I'm really excited. It'll be a great adventure.

Well, sorry it's not the novel people expected. I've got to go to the staff meeting now. Oh boy! I'll talk to everyone later. Take care. I'm excited! I'm excited! I'm excited!!!
